"Hmm? Wait..."

As he said that, Li Xuan couldn't help but remember something, turned his head and asked Li Chengqian again: "When His Majesty issued an edict, he only granted those aristocratic families as the kings of the country, and did not say that he was a vassal state?"

"Return to Master, it is the ban on the country!"

Li Chengqian replied quickly.

After hearing this, Li Xuan felt a little relieved. He was really worried.

How could people like Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling be so stupid!

In the Tang Dynasty, the fiefdom and the vassal state were completely different.

The ban is also part of the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and it also needs to accept the enthronement and rule of the Tang Dynasty court. Even if the Tang Dynasty wants to intervene, it can send troops, officials, or collect taxes.

However, the Tang Dynasty would at most charge some taxes for the cities built by these families themselves.

The vassal states are completely autonomous and can do whatever they want. The Tang Dynasty cannot interfere with it unless it sends troops to conquer.

A few days later.

The Li family in Longxi was about to capture the Chishui and Yuanhua cities in Tuyuhun, and reported it to the court.

Li Shimin also issued an edict according to his letter, conferring the title of the head of the Li family in Longxi as King of Heyuan. In the Heyuan area, the King of Heyuan would pay taxes to the Tang Dynasty every year, and the army and officials were completely independent.

Of course, if King Heyuan feels that he cannot defend his fiefdom, he can also pay the Tang Dynasty, hire the Tang Dynasty army, and guard the Heyuan area for them. However, the cost of his troops is naturally a bit expensive.

The Li family in Longxi naturally refused.

You should know that Li Jing, Duke of Dai, was born in the Li family in Longxi, and Li Keshi, the general of the Right Prefecture of the dynasty. Both of these brothers were born in the Li family in Longxi. In addition, there was a kind of ethnic group in the Li family in Longxi, who were all officials, civil officials, or military officers, and they were easy to guard the two small cities.

As for Tuyuhun really dares to attack Heyuan, maybe the defenders of several cities on the border of the Tang Dynasty will be on high alert and directly wipe out Tuyuhun in one fell swoop, just like destroying Jie Li!

A few days later, the story of the head of the Li family in Longxi being the King of Heyuan spread throughout the Tang Dynasty.

A sensation in the family!

When all the aristocratic families looked northwest of the Tang Dynasty, their eyes were glowing green.

At the same time, a number of aristocratic families also turned their attention from time to time toward the Cui family in Qinghe who was the first to borrow military weapons from Li Tang.

However, more than a thousand military households in the Cui family were all working under the command of Cheng Zhijie and Li Xiaogong from Beisha City, Shicheng, and Xuecheng City, and have not yet attacked the vassal states!

However, the wealth that the military households snatched back from the cities of Goguryeo was also profitable.

Then, after the New Year's Day, all the aristocratic families rushed to Chang'an City again.

Borrowing arms from the court.

As long as they grab a quota, their aristocratic family can get a rank of kings, and they are also ranks similar to those of vassal states, with officials and the army independent.

Li Xuan was not moved by these aristocratic families coming to Chang'an City.

No aristocratic family dares to take the initiative to find Li Xuan’s trouble!

Now, King Li Xuan of Jin has truly become a taboo figure in the Tang Dynasty!

It doesn't matter if the King of Jin is angry that he does not sell liquor to the aristocratic family or glass vegetables. But if the King of Jin is offended, he will go directly to His Majesty and ask His Majesty to revoke the edict, or not lend the armaments to the aristocratic family!

Then, the aristocratic family that angered the King of Jin will definitely be attacked by the angry aristocratic families. There is no need for the King of Jin and His Majesty to take action. In less than two days, the aristocratic family will definitely disappear from the Tang Dynasty, and no trace will be left behind!

At the same time, as the New Year passed, the envoys of Goguryeo came to the Tang Dynasty again.

However, Prince Gao Heng did not come.

This time, the chief envoy was the deputy envoy Ming Lin Youyuan last time!

The Han people who were accompanied by five thousand former Sui Dynasty Han people left in Goguryeo, and more than twenty large ships were filled with boxes of bones.

The first thing Goguryeo was sending Ming Lin Youyuan to Chang'an City was to enter the palace to apologize to Li Shimin, and at the same time, he once again paid tribute to thousands of precious objects.

Li Shimin left the palace and brought Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, Du Ruhui, Xiao Yu, Tang Jian and other Chinese civil and military officials to bury the bones of former Sui soldiers sent back from Goguryeo in the east of Chang'an City.

On the day of the burial, thousands of elderly people gathered directly in Chang'an City.

These are all the old men of the former Sui Dynasty!

The next day, thousands of children from aristocratic families were added to the court to become officials in the list of the Ministry of Personnel of the Tang Dynasty.

This matter is serious, and the Minister of Personnel hurriedly reported to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin was naturally overjoyed about this.

There was still a large vacancies in the Tang Dynasty. I issued an edict directly. Every child of aristocratic families who came to take the initiative to become officials and serve in the Tang Dynasty would be rewarded with fifty pieces of silk and ten kilograms of yak jerky!

Moreover, every child of aristocratic family serves him after the Ministry of Personnel checks his virtues!

After sending the bones, the Goguryeo delegation hurried back.

They were trembling every day at the expressions of the people of the Tang Dynasty looking at them.

Li Shimin also issued an edict that if the states of the Tang Dynasty showed off their martial arts and collected enemy corpses and sealed the capital, they would be shoveled, both new and old, and they would be added to make graves to cover up the dead bones and rotten bones, and not to expose those bones!

In response to this, officials from all prefectures in the Tang Dynasty naturally implemented it!

...

A few days later, the Japanese envoy, Tooka Mita, arrived again.

This time, the dog got on the Mita-Can's light car and did not carry much property.

After hearing this, Li Xuan was in a good mood.

Sure enough, after the Inuka Mita-sama arrived at Lijiazhuang, he directly presented the letter to the king of the Kingdom of Japan!

"Report to His Highness King Jin, are these letters of the Emperor of Japan?"

"Emperor?"

When Li Xuan heard this, he couldn't help but frown.

The expression that was originally smiling and fell down directly.

On the side, Li Chengqian, Cheng Chusi and others were also full of anger.

"You call your king of Japan the emperor?"

Li Xuan asked coldly.

"What's wrong with your Highness King Jin?"

Inugumi Mida-sama asked in confusion before he realized the seriousness of the matter.

"Rareless, I, the Emperor of Tang, only dare to call himself the emperor. A small country in Japan dares to call himself the emperor?"

Cheng Chusi stared at the dog's three-field zodiac, his face full of coldness.

"How does this title of Japan put my Emperor of Tang?"

After hearing this, Mita-Saki Tou's face changed drastically. He was sent by the Japanese to serve as an envoy to the Tang Dynasty, so he was very familiar with the culture of the Tang Dynasty.

Insulting the Emperor of Tang, he would be beheaded!

"Your Highness the King of Jin forgives your crimes, and your Crown Prince forgives your crimes. Your envoy is just a small envoy. This matter was decided by His Majesty of the Kingdom of Japan and all the ministers, and the envoys cannot change at all.

Moreover, the name of His Majesty of Japan has been available a long time ago…”

"Little Japan is so rampant!"

Hearing this, Li Chengqian was not an unreasonable person, so he could only snort coldly.

However, Li Xuan looked at Mida-sama in the Inugaki with a sneer. He didn't expect that this little dwarf could really cheat and he just started to tell a lie.

Although he didn't know when the title of Emperor Japan came from, it was definitely not passed down from the beginning, but a name that was only given in the early Tang Dynasty in recent years.

Seeing Li Xuan's expression, the Mita-guaki couldn't help but feel cold behind his back. His Highness, King of Jin, seemed to be able to see through his deep thoughts. It was so terrifying!

"Yarang of Japan is arrogant. In the Tang Dynasty, I don't want to hear any word "Emperor". The lord of a small country in Japan is not worthy of this title!" Li Xuan said indifferently.

"Yes, the envoy remembers!"

Inuka Mida-nodai nodded quickly and replied.
